Leveling Kits pros and cons
ok i've had my truck now for over a year and have been extremely cautious on what to do about a leveling kit or lift. i first started reading up on a leveling kit and i leaned toward the idea because the truck has a high rear just wanted it leveled. the lift is safe because it keeps everthing aligned but a lift is just too much height and cost. im still leaning toward the leveling kit but the problems that i have heard and read can be a costly mod when it comes to failing parts in the front end due to angle changes. is there any one product out there that works better than the other or is there something new that helps fix the CV joint angle problem. ideas please tired of the low rack front end.

Just got my '11 Sport 4x4 and had a "dealer installed" leveling kit (Truxx 2" kit) done. In 4wd I get no wobble and the ride feels the same as stock. When I asked the dealer about the kit they said the angles were no issue. Had it installed through them as part of the purchase so they're on the hook if anything happens just to be safe.

you can get the Bilstein 5100 for both front and back from tirerack.com. for a decent price. The ones for the back are not adjustable.

see ive heard good and bad on the bilstein shocks mainly the shake in 4 wheel drive. my main goal is to get the truck as level as possible my girfriend and the kids already have a tuff time getting in on stock height to much lift they will want to take her car with the belstein shocks what level of adjustment have people been using.
